TIE Deltas went TO Cumberland
on Friday morning, the 9Th inst, to
tackle the great q base ball club Of
that city. The game was promptly
called at 4 o'clock with the Deltas at
the bat. The game went along pretty
well until the seventh inning when
the umpire, q Cumberlander, made the
rankest decision against the Deltas.
OF course the Deltas would not stand
it ADD refused TO play any longer with
such an umpire officiating, The score
then stood 3 to 5. The following are
some of the rotten decisions made
against our boys: A Cumberlander
ran from second TO third and the
Delta's catcher threw TO third to cut
him off. The baseman touched the
runner and the umpire called him out,
The runner started TO walk in, being
satisfied he was out, when the base
man, in the act Of throwing the ball
To the pitcher, accidentally dropped
at The umpire reversed his decision
and motionel the runner to 60 back
to his base.
In the second inning, a Cumbcr-
lander at the bat hit the ball which
glanced downward, struck his foot
and rolled out in the diamond. Ac-
cording to the rules (Which are very
plain on this point) this was a foul,
but the umpire allowed him his base
and a man on third TO score.
The decision on which the Deltas
kicked 50 hard against, and quit play
Ing was when a Cum5crlander had
Two strikes and three balls and struck
at the ball which hit him on The arm.
The umpire gave him bis base which
should have been called the third
strike. The score at the end of the
FIRST half Of the seventh inning stood
8 TO 3 in favor Of the Deltas. This
is where the umpire was trying TO
get his work in, He knew the game
was drawing to a close and something
had to done to save Cumberland the
disgrace and modification Of being
done up by a country club from
West Virginia. Score by innings /:

Friday afternoon of last week
the Terra Alta team came over to
Kingwood and showed the school
nine how to play ball. Result: Ter.

ing is the score by innings:

Terra Alta 90l44 5 O-25
Kingwood 20l1 1909 8 O. .
The fact, is the school nine aveg
up before going upon the diamond.
One could hear upon all sides from
them such remarks as "oh we're
going to be laid on the shelf"
"They'le soon dispose of us;' Lets
pick out our graves" &c, &c. An
impartial Judge could Sc at a glance
that the Terra Atlas have had the
practice and that the school nine lack
practice.
There is no doubt that the school
nine have good men but as we said
they need practice, and getting rat.
tied before the game commenced was
very much against them. The sew.
enth inning they were somewhat over
their excitement and got down to
playing, as the score will show, from
that to the end OF the game. Had
they begnn with the determination
of being victors the result would
have been somewhat different.

LONDON. April 2O.-John Morley ad-
dressed 4,OOO persons at Wolverhampton
this evening. Referring TO Mr.. Gladstone
he said no other great leader ever launched
a great issue or fought for great cause
with spirit so entirely forgetful of its own
perso ality and so entirely shutting out
those mean and ignoble considerations
which seemed to effect ignoble minds. The
| Grimes bill had awakened tens of thousands
| of Liberals to what they did when they re-
| jected Mr.. Gladstone's policy. He repudi-
ated the accusation that the Liberals coun-
| tenanced violence and obstruction in Par
lament, or that they had allied themselves
with men whose hands wero stained with
outrage. He reminded Mr.. Chamberlain
that he, in the Fortnightly Review for Feb
ruary, 1SS6 advised that the Parnellite
| leaders be taken into the councils of the
| Queen. The rOund-table conference had
been suspended because Mr. Chamberlain
though concilatory in cOnclaye, continued
in speech and letter, publicly to revive the
| old bitterness. The 'niOnists proposed
some question ignoring fve-sixths of the
| Irish people and clubbing their trusted rep

crime which was brought against the Par
nellites, he had to say that the charge was
! fully stated before Parliament in lsS3, when
the Irish Government. after the fullest in
| Quiries, found that the accusation could not
| be subStantiated. With regard to the latest
! charge which was made by the Times until
that paper explained how it obtained the
letter and its ground for believing it au-
| thentic, he should content himself with Mr..
Parnell'S denial. On the fringe Of every
popular movement there were some bad
men. but it was a mistake 10 call the
! Irsh-American Home Rulers the scum of
